A member asked:

I have condyloma (genital wart) and im pregnant now could that effect on my baby in my uterus that mean my baby also get hpv virus... ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not while developing: This virus limits it's spread to direct contact.While inside your uterus, the baby is protected by several tissue membranes from external agents.The only possible invaders would need to get there through your blood, which this does not do.There is potential for the baby to acquire virus during natural delivery, if you are shedding at that time.Babies can develop genital or vocal cord warts later.
